Deathy posted a video about freezing lane explaining that pushing the lane is not always the best option. This is very advanced concept so it has no place in this video aimed at beginners, but I sometimes apply what he explains there, when I see opponents applying a lot of pressure I just focus on soul confirm/denies and hide behind my barrels. I often time get ahead in souls because they spend too much ammo focusing me. Then I use their false sense of security to reverse the pressure with a good item timing. It probably only works at low level though. I really like your priority list, I'll use it in the future !
Yes freezing can be game changer but i didnt want to make an hour long video haha and its little more advanced I will prob come out with another video explaining some more advanced things
yeah freezing really only makes sense in this game under extremely niche circumstances. Essentially just ask the question, "do I get more for doing this or doing this?" In the argument for freezing, it's when your pressure on the enemy is resulting in them losing a ton of troopers while you are still securing last hits. It's basically a "win more" strat, although there is a niche for when you're being bullied.
great video! Another thing about your coinflip point I think is missed is both sides have to opt into that. Often better players won't opt in, instead just doing small trades here and there while outfarming (while the other side is focused on trading only) and only go for the kill with a clear advantage.
I find myself always doing very well in lane very decisively but then I lose my guardian, Idk maybe I'm not respecting skill upgrades enough or item power spikes enough.
I'm trying to bring my friends to play this game and they always end up 0-13 in their first game, just as I went 0-13 in my first game, so I try to be nice to them
Good video but it should be stated that enemy kill denies them farming and makes your farm easier. Also using game where you clearly stomped enemies as an example is not a good idea
Lol im trying to show how much you can be ahead at end of lane phase. But yeah i see what your saying sometimes hard to decide what game to use. If its to much of a stomp its not as good but if its not a stomp its not as good lol but either way these principals work. And yes if they are dead they are not farming that is true i should of pointed that out
@@Dallows65 Well yeah if you can bully your opponents or even kill them without missing any last hits and denies, its obviously a huge advantage, but you wont be able to do that every game. I tried to avoid saying simply kill the enemy hero or make them back, cuz you cant always do that, i wanted to mainly cover things you can do every game for consistency, because you will run into players who are simply better than you are. But what you said is for sure true
@@garvesgaming for sure, but I was speaking in regards to killing versus maiming. Had a match as 7 where I bullied an Ivy in solo lane so hard that they were down 2.1K until their Abrams ganked the lane xD Def should prioritize securing last hits wherever possible, but at times it’s worth more to not kill and instead force them to back off and heal, esp if it’s healing rite and you can break the heal.

Thank you for telling us the values never seen a video with the actual numbers that helped a lot.
7:38 BY THE NINE!
Good video
You mentioned another video to talk about priorities in the late game - I would be interested to see that
Yes, I will make this video for sure.

Yes this exactly. when i go for trades im not willing to miss souls for it, but ill happily take chunks if it dosnt cost me anything
"haze can you stop" yeah I know that feeling, bud
The seven got so many denies the sound effect alone must be crushing
Good video!!!
Thanks for the vid!
You're welcome!
6k Dota player here, great advice 👍

how do you get blinking creep health bars?
My team mate holding me back
Seven is worse hero in low mmmr I can pick any my rank match where I lost there will be seven with 0-7 or 0 kill for sure
lmao for me the curse is Kelvins! they always are useless
@@garvesgaming lol
I'm trying to bring my friends to play this game and they always end up 0-13 in their first game, just as I went 0-13 in my first game, so I try to be nice to them
For me it's Ivy for some reason low rank Ivy's never push even if they have literal immunity and a stun at the press of a button. Wild.

Haze can you stop

I find it more valuable to force the enemy to go to base and heal, if only because they’re gone longer or they spend their boost to do so.
